Finally received my refractometer in the mail. About time. Now to calibrate it and see how well it works. Both fish are still swimming, hoping to win a UV Sterilizer on eBay to help kill off free-floating ich in the tank. We'll see how that goes.

Wednesday or Thursday, I'm thinking about getting grouping of Zoanthids if my LFS has any in for cheap. I'm just wondering where in my tank I should place them, once I get them. My current lighting is a 65w Power Compact that is 50/50 Actince/Daylight. Any advice on placement of the corals will be greatly appreciated.

Well, Zoanthids do well in lower light but they love high flow, so if you have a spot in the tank that fits both those conditions then that's where I'd put it. Just keep in mind, they are going to spread and cover a fairly large area.

Thank you both. I'll be able to find a spot for them somewhere in the tank or at least create a good spot. I won't mind if they cover a lot of area, I don't plan on going full on reef with this tank.

Clowns both seem to be doing well. Still can't say 100% that they are ich-free. I won a Coralife Super Skimmer for tanks up to 125 gallons on eBay. Just have to hope it comes with all the parts and that they are in working order. So assuming my clowns are ich-free, my tank is doing great right now. Still in the middle of the algae cycle, but I'm not bothered by that. Also still trying to move my 20g FW tank so that I will be able to setup a small sump for the 29g SW. Hopefully, I will start the move this weekend.

Didn't get any zoanthids. Only had one grouping for sale and it was $70USD. Didn't want to pay that much for that small of a grouping when they will reproduce like crazy given the right environment. I'll just check back later to see if they get new groupings in for cheaper. I did get another single mushroom. Can someone provide a useful link or knowledge on how to get them to reproduce?

Lost one of the clownfish to ich. It looked fine last night. Woke up in the morning it having trouble swimming. I euthanized it, because it was too far gone to try to treat. I moved the other clownfish to my hospital tank, so my display tank will be fishless for around the next 2 months. The clownfish will stay in the hospital tank for that duration also. I'll just get corals for my display tank during this time.

This lost is devastating to me. I don't want to make this mistake again. I just hope I get the other clownfish back to normal health.
